The dreaded bonding again

Kelly Marie Angel

Sorry for this but my boiler recently had her annual service all was well except they said I don't have any bonding in place except I think I do the gas main is bonded in the meter cupboard and the radiators and hot and cold water feeds are all bonded in the bathroom upstairs. All pipework is copper throughout the plumbing never been altered in 40 years except for a new boiler oh and removal of the water tanks. So can I be confident the bonding upstairs is good enough?

    Geoff - I am struggling to see your point here.

    JP - Yes I agree.

    Both these statements are made only with reference to our regs - the wiring regs.

    I have no idea what the gasregs actually say.

    If they both say exactly the same thing then great, if not we have a problem.

    If you are an electrician then work to the electrical regs but if you are part of the gas industry then work to the gas regs - does not seem a good idea unless you can comply with both regs with no conflict.

    Kelly - it used to be pretty clear - if it presents as TNS then it is TNS unless you see a PME sticker on it.

    That was years ago.

    Nowadays it might have been TNS originally but a nearby repair of the service cable makes it behave so very like TNC-S  that we should treat it as if it is actually PME but without the PME notice on it unless the supplier confirms it is actually TNS.
